The Damned at the Rainbow Theatre, London - 1978.
I was 13, and we had seats 6 rows from the front - until they all got ripped up and thrown on the stage ! Dunno what the promoters were thinking, seats at a hardcore punk gig !
It was actually quite intimidating for a 13 year old. There were some very scarey looking people around, with some extraordinary haircuts.
Warm-up band were The Spodgenessabounds (way before their 'Two Pints of Lager and A Packet of Crisps, Please' fame).
Lead singer Max Splodge got a double-header BJ from his two backing singers, live on stage... another eye-opener for a young lad up the front
Come to think of it, Max was rather partial to dropping his trews for any reason he could come up with, including during the notorious 'farting Song', where the microphone was introduced to.... well, you get the picture.....
